| We All Come From the Horned One
We all come from the Horned One
And to him we shall return
Like a flash of flame
Rising to the heavens.

| Oh Tell Me Why
Oh tell me why, oh tell me why
Tell me why must the clouds come to darken the sky
Oh tell me why, oh tell me why
Tell me why must the clouds come to darken the sky
This is the wake of Lugh the Sun King
He lost his life on the Solstice day
This is the wake of Lugh the Sun King
He steps into the dark and guides the way
author unknown
Edit by Lemur:
This chant is also used at Lammas, sometimes, and in that case just substitute "Lammas" for "Solstice". Technically, Lugh lost the battle on Solstice but went into the corn on Lammas.
Just love this one.
"I amar prestar aen, han mathon ne nen, han mathon ne chae a han noston ned 'wilith"

| Green God, Living God
This is one I learned while I was in the WRCF (Wiccan Religious Cooperative of Florida) at one of our rituals. I believe the chant is original to the WRCF and may have been created by Ken Windwalker, one of the founding members of that organization. R.I.P., Ken, I'll never forget the joy of knowing you.
The tune is original and at the moment I don't have a way of reproducing it, but I'm working on that.
It's a call and response chant. Typically, the lead singer would lead one stanza, then someone else would take up another stanza. The lead would go around taking turns around the circle until folks had run out of either inspiration or energy.
Incidentally, since this is a chant for the Green God, the aspects for this song should deal with nature, and particularly plant.
Lead: Green God
All: Green God
Lead: Living God
All: Living God
Lead:_____ God (mention an aspect of the God - generally two syllables to fit the tun but that can be worked with via stacatto)
All: ___ God (whatever the Lead just said.)
Lead: Lord of ____ (mention something relating to that aspect - generally one syllable or two, but again, work w it.)
All: Lord of ____(whatever the Lead just said)
Chorus:
Lead: Hey yah!
All: Hey yah!
Lead: Hey yah!
All: Hey yah!
Lead: Green God, Living God, _____ God, Lord of _____
All: Green God, Living God, _____ God, Lord of _____
Here's the one I recall specifically:
Lead: Green God
All: Green God
Lead: Living God
All: Living God
Lead: Wicker God
All: Wicker God
Lead: Lord of Chairs
All: Lord of Chairs
Chorus:
Lead: Hey yah!
All: Hey yah!
Lead: Hey yah!
All: Hey yah!
Lead: Green God, Living God, Wicker God, Lord of Chairs.
All: Green God, Living God, Wicker God, Lord of Chairs.
The stanzas can be as humorous or as straight as you want them to be. Obviously the puns are more fun.
Here's another I either remember or just made up:
Lead: Green God
All: Green God
Lead: Living God
All: Living God
Lead: Willow God
All: Willow God
Lead: Lord of Aspirin
All: Lord of Aspirin
Chorus:
Lead: Hey yah!
All: Hey yah!
Lead: Hey yah!
All: Hey yah!
Lead: Green God, Living God, Willow God, Lord of Asprin.
All: Green God, Living God, Willow God, Lord of Asprin.
Other suggestions:
Barley God, Lord of Beer
Oak Leaf God, Lord of Nature
Grain (Or Wheat Grain) God/Lord of Bread
Wormwood God/Lord of Poisons
Oat Grain God/Lord of Porridge
Have fun with this one!

| Song: The Mabon
Artist: Damh The Bard
Album: The Hills They Are Hollow
Twisting shapes
In the moonlight
I hear the rhythm
Of the distant
Pagan drums
Within the hills
Shadows dance
In the sunlight
I feel the power
Of the wise
And ancient ones
Now I must go
Beyond the world
We see
Where Spirit runs
With bull and stallion
Cross Earth
And Sky and Sea
The Mabon
I shall be
By Earth and Water
Air and Fire
With blood and spirit
And desire
A fire
In my head
I will wear
The antlered crown
Fires burning
At midnight
Across the world
I hear my story
Being told
Father and Son
Chanting voices
At midnight
Are singing songs
About the power
That I hold
The newborn Sun
Beyond the world
We see
Where Spirit runs
With bull and stallion
Cross Earth
And Sky and Sea
The Mabon
I shall be
By Earth and Water
Air and Fire
With blood and spirit
And desire
A fire
In my head
I will wear
The antlered crown
And in the forest
Dance with me
And in your heart
You shall be free
For I am you
And you will find
That you are me
Shadows cast
In the sunlight
I see my
Children turn their eyes
Towards the sky
Towards the Sun
Dawn of life
In the sulight
Mithras
Osiris
Dionysis
Herne and Pan
We all are one
Beyond the world
We see
Where Spirit runs
With bull and stallion
Cross Earth
And Sky and Sea
The Mabon
I shall be
By Earth and Water
Air and Fire
With blood and spirit
And desire
A fire
In my head
I will wear
The antlered crown
And in the forest
Dance with me
And in your heart
You shall be free
For I am you
And you will find
That you are me

| Noon of Solstice
Damh- the Bard
In times long past
lived a Man of green,
And his footsteps brought life wherever he'd been.
In the deepest wildwood
was the place he was seen,
And the people did love
and protect him.
And they saw his face change,
with the turn of the Wheel
of the Seasons,
They heard his voice sing.
(Chorus)
I'm the Horned God,
I'm the face in the trees,
I'm the breath of the wind that rustles the leaves,
I'm the Green Man
in the wildwood I roam,
Cernunnos, I'm Pan and I'm Herne.
I shall be as the Dark Holly King,
Darkness and cold
in my cloak I will bring,
And on Winter's nights
to me you will sing,
Till the air around me starts changing,
And on the noon of the solstice
I'll give up my crown,
To the Light
and the Mighty Oak King.
All Summer long
I shall rule just and fair,
Bring your crops to fruit
with the light that I share,
With fire and water,
from earth into air,
But the Wheel it keeps
steadily turning.
And on the noon of the Solstice
I'll give up my crown,
To the cold and the Dark Holly King.
T'is now modern times
and the Summer is here,
The Winter has gone
and the air it is clear,
On a fine day I walked
through a woods I live near,
When a battle I spied
through a clearing,
Two giants of leaves,
one light and one dark,
Even now the Wheel it is turning!
